Question

Why are deleted photos showing on other devices?

My normally workflow is to load my raw files in to LR CC on my desktop. This uploads them to the Cloud and i can see them on my ipad and iphone. All good (well its not, but it works ).

I can edit and the adjustments are synced back to other devices after a while.

Now, if i delete any files from within LR CC on my ipad or iPhone i get a message warning me all instances of this image will be deleted off all devices. Well, that what I want, but its not happening. I have to delete the same files off each of the other devices  manually.

Am I expecting soemthing that I shouldn’? I assume because there is a warning that if i ok it this is what ill get.

Getting more and more frustrated with this, and I’m paying for it.

    It's not Lightroom Classic you are using on your Desktop though?

    Well i do have it but no, ive not opened it for a couple of months. I do all my editing on my ipad these days, so just using LR CC desktop as an uploader as ISO doesn’t recognise .cr3 files yet.

    Are the devices connected by WiFI? Could it be that they are not and Cell Data is turned off. Sorry just trying to think of reasons for the issue!

    I do have full connection for all devices. Edits are getting transferred fine, as are the actualy Smart previews or raw files if i export at full size.

    Some images are going but not all, so communication between them is working.  All devices show Syncing has completed.

    Thanks for tying though.

    Hi,

    Which version of LR CC are you using on your desktop?

    Very strange.

    Assume you are importing the RAW files into CC Desktop from a Camera/Card and not from a phone?

    Yes, SD card in card reader on my WIndows 10 PC.

    I also have smart previews only turned on on both my phone and ipad.
